research Bee Venom Promotes Hair Growth in Association with Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Expression
Bee venom helps hair grow and may work better than some common treatments.
research Compilation of a comprehensive gene panel for systematic assessment of genes that govern an individual’s drug responses
Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
research Macular Abnormalities Associated With 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, drugs for prostate issues and hair loss, may lead to eye abnormalities in men.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
